India-China Relation / India's diplomatic victory, China ready to implement consensus reached between Modi and Xi

India-China Relation: China has recently indicated that it is committed to implementing the important issues decided during the talks between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the BRICS summit in Russia. This statement has given a glimpse of new positivity in the relations between the two countries, which have been tense in the last few years.

Important talks at the BRICS summit

The nearly 50-minute meeting between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi during the BRICS summit held in the Russian city of Kazan last month paved the way for a fresh dialogue on the border dispute and bilateral relations. In this meeting, the two leaders agreed on the issue of withdrawal of troops and resumption of patrolling to reduce tension on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.

Modi underlined in the meeting that differences and disputes should be resolved in a peaceful and proper manner. He emphasized the need to maintain stability and peace in the border areas. At the same time, Xi emphasized that two big developing countries like India and China should adopt a respectful attitude towards each other and seek a bright path to live in harmony.

Strained relations after Galwan Valley

India and China's relations had deteriorated sharply since the clash in the Galwan Valley in June 2020. This clash was considered the most severe military conflict between the two countries in the past decades. However, recently there has been an agreement between the two sides to withdraw troops from the disputed areas of eastern Ladakh and restore patrolling. This is considered an important step towards ending the military standoff.

Future prospects

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that China is committed to enhancing dialogue and cooperation with India. However, he denied any information about a possible meeting between Modi and Xi during the upcoming G20 summit.

The two leaders have directed to reactivate the dialogue mechanism of special representatives. Under this mechanism, efforts will be made to find solutions to border disputes and other issues.

Need for coordination and strategic trust

Experts believe that fostering strategic trust and strengthening dialogue is essential to improve India-China relations. With the two countries having a population of around 1.4 billion, harmonious relations between them are important not only for regional peace but also for global stability.

Conclusion

The BRICS summit has signalled a new energy in India-China relations. However, it will be important to see how effectively the two countries are able to implement the agreed issues. Taking steps in the right direction on border disputes and issues of mutual sensitivity can ensure stability and progress in bilateral relations.
